Thread Name: Lyr Req: Lumberton Wreck (from Cauley Family)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lumberton Wreck (from Cauley Family)
My father was in this wreck. His brother, Emmett Clyde, died as a 15 year old.Dad stayed in hospital at Lumberton for about 30 days. He always told me they put him in the basement because they did not expect him to live. My grandfather Taylor went there with Garner funeral home to claim the bodies.He went around to several prominent men in order to raise enough money to satisfy expenses in Lumberton. My grandmother never recovered from the death of Emmett. Emmette C. Taylor, Kinston, NC.
